A wall outside La Salle Primary School was damaged by the typhoon, with bricks scattered all over the place.
Only primary five and six students could attend school physically today, while others had online lessons at their homes.
On the island side, a tree on this retaining wall was knocked down.
The branches on Bonham Road had to be lifted with a crane.

This student said he left home five to ten minutes earlier than usual to allow more time for commuting.
However, he said the situation was not as poor as he had expected.
Another big tree fell victim to the typhoon outside of Sai Ying Pun MTR station, and had to be moved away with heavy machinery.
Tseung Kwan O was another hit-hard area.
A section of the cycling track along the promenade was destroyed by surging waves yesterday.

Ivan Ho, chairman of the Harbourfront Commission said there are 26 sea-facing areas in Hong Kong.
He said authorities are looking into strengthening the designs according to each site's geographical features, so as to lessen future harm by storm surge.
As development in the harbour may be limited by law, he suggested the creation of a buffer zone that could reduce the damage by sea water.
